To "clone a gene" is to make multiple copies of it in vivo
What is Gene cloning?
![Page 4: Dolly the sheep (1997-2003) 1. Animal and human cloning 2. Gene cloning](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ccd5503460f9499745e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why Clone DNA?
• A particular gene can be isolated and its nucleotide sequence determined
• Protein/enzyme/RNA function can be investigated
• Mutations can be identified, e.g. gene defects related to specific diseases
• Organisms can be ‘engineered’ for specific purposes, e.g. insulin production

Plasmids are Used to Replicate a Recombinant DNA
Plasmids are small circles of DNA found in bacteria.
Plasmids replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome.
Pieces of foreign DNA can be added within a plasmid to create a recombinant plasmid.
![Page 9: Dolly the sheep (1997-2003) 1. Animal and human cloning 2. Gene cloning](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ccd5503460f9499745e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
All plasmids contain:
1. Origin of replication (ori)
2. Selection marker (Ampicillin)
3. Multiple Cloning Site (MCS)
Plasmid vectors
Circular DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication in living cells
A Plasmid (vector) is a DNA molecule used for transferring foreign DNA fragments (genes) into host cells
MCS

Ligation
REs will produce ends that enable the gene to be spliced into a plasmid
Ligation

Transformation
Two main methods :
1. Chemical transformation – Chilling cells in the presence of Ca2+ prepares the cell walls to become permeable to plasmid DNA. Cells are briefly heat shocked which causes the DNA to enter the cell
2. Electoporation- making holes in bacterial cells, by briefly shocking them with an electric field of 10-20kV/cm. Plasmid DNA can enter the cell through these holes.
Use of bacterial cells to amplify the DNA of interest
![Page 15: Dolly the sheep (1997-2003) 1. Animal and human cloning 2. Gene cloning](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649ccd5503460f9499745e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Possible products of the transformation:
Plasmid + insert
Ampicillin resistant
Plasmid without insert
Ampicillin resistant
No plasmid
No ampicillin resistance
How can we differentiate between the bacteria containing plasmid+insert and the ones with the self
ligated plasmid (no insert)?
Plasmid + insert
Ampicillin resistant
